Oliver was our server and he did an exceptional job of making sure that all of my wife's allergies were addressed and the food was properly prepared. It is surprising that a high end restaurant offers no gluten free bread, roll, or breadsticks to customers who are gluten-free. As with lesser restaurants, my wife had brought her oun gluten-free crackers to eat while I enjoyed the fresh warm bread. I felt badly for her. When we inquired about possible future gluten-free breads being offered,, we were told that there was no intention to go in this direction.

We dined in on the senior menu. The Senior Menu and meal were outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection, the pear and pecan salad was fresh and very tasty, shared a cream spinach as a side and a crème brûlée for dessert. The restaurant is charming, our server was fantastic and friendly, and the noise level was minimal. If you haven’t tried Perry Steakhouse at Short Pump, you need to treat yourself to an excellent dining experience!
